airplane Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Ooof…. Boeing previously lied to the FAA which is why they won’t certify the upcoming 777X. They’re losing trust by the day. It’s not looking good! Quote Boeing has now been criminally charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States by the Department of Justice and will have to pay a $2.5 billion fine for lying to the Federal Aviation Administration before and after the fatal 737 crashes in 2018 and 2019.

Moloko Plus Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The fact that they’re only facing large fines and no one is receiving prison time is the reason these corporations keep trying to skirt regulations. A ******* mess 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letemtalk Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Boeing have very strong ties to senior politicians in both major parties. At one stage Boeing had both Nikki Haley and Caroline Kennedy on the board of directors. Boeing will be just fine and the next headline you will hear will be when they're awarded another huge defence contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that Boeing defense products have even worse quality issues as their civilian ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ******* mess It depends on how you look at it, a large enough fine would set the whole company back, except they're never that large. An imprisonment would just shift some people around I guess both would be ideal but they're never strict enough in these cases Edited March 16 by Illuminati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mendes Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Absolutely begging people to stop losing their minds over this stuff. No one has been seriously injured. No one has died. No one will die. The media loves to sensationalize air incidents. Why? Because they’re rare. There has not been a fatal air crash in the US since 2009 and they’re desperate to latch onto any sort of mechanical issue and turn it into a near death experience. None of the planes that have had incidents in the last couple of months was EVER even close to crashing. At no point were the pilots or cabin crew EVER out of control of the situation. Airplanes are built with multiple failsafes. Airplanes can even stay airborne for a great deal of time even if both engines completely shut off. These flights making emergency landings were not landing because they were in danger of crashing, they were landing because they were flying close enough to an airport (which is a law) to immediately touch down and assess the problem and tend to any passengers that may be seriously hurt (and there were none). The media doesn’t know how airplanes work, nor do they know the actual details of what happened in these incidents they’re reporting. They will make it sound infinitely worse than it was in actuality because it drives clicks and engagement. The only wildly abnormal thing that has happened on a Boeing is the door on Alaska Air which is a design flaw that has been fixed. Instrument panel problems, shedding landing gear, all of it happens all the time and you never hear about it. Know why? Because it isn’t serious. The media would like you to believe it is but not a single one of the issues that have been reported on in regards to Boeing ever put the plane in danger of crashing. Not one. Zero. You’re only hearing about this because of the media storm, which will go away. And to that, Boeing is run by assholes im not gonna sit here and sing their praises and defend their stupidity, but its SO reckless to paint all this stuff as a mega disaster waiting to happen when it is nothing of the sort. Hundreds of thousands of flights take place on Boeing planes every week. Millions every year. And every one of those people has landed unharmed. Everyone is letting a small handful of less than deadly events cause a fuss and ignoring the billions of people who fly that are absolutely fine in every possible way. Do not let people who don’t know how airplanes work tell you that they’re dangerous. Edited March 16 by Mr. Mendes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
